Small pore zeolites with large cavities have greatly attracted attention because of recently-developed industrial applications especially such as methanol or dimethyl ether-to-olefin (MTO or DTO) reaction and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx. AFX-type zeolites, possessing 8-ring channels and elongated large-cavity (AFT cage), have not been applied to such processes contrary to wellknown CHA-type zeolites due to the limited Si/Al composition range which arises from a narrow synthesis window. In this work, a bulky and rigid N,N,N,'N'-tetraethylbicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-ene-2,3:5,6-dipyrrolidinium (TEBOP2+ dication, which is already known to give MSE-type zeolites, was firstly used to synthesize AFX-type zeolites and successfully widen the synthesis window. The product Si/Al molar ratio in the range between 6 and 9 and the dihexahedron-based particle morphology are the remarkable features which have never been observed in conventional AFX-type zeolites. Crystallization of this novel AFX-type zeolite can be understandable based on guest/host relationship between the OSDA and the cage structure in AFX. An FAU-type zeolite, which has the considerable structural similarity with an AFX-type zeolite, is essential for the crystallization as a starting material. In addition to potentials for industrial applications, an investigation of crystallization kinetics is also discussed.
